“I wish I didn't have to go either Jasmine. I wouldn't go if I didn't have to, but the front lines need me until they can get someone with more experience. I need someone from Rodario for that. It will take at least a week for that to happen. I promise to be back in your arms as soon as possible.” Brandon said as he continued to rub her stomach.

~~

Serena stood up with the help of Vincent. “Hope wakes up and decides she wants to play at night. She doesn't know it's sleep time.” She said. ”Then the boys sometimes have bad dreams but they do a pretty good job with a kiss and a hug before going back to bed.”

They walked out of the study together. Iverson looked at Kalista and smiled. “I do miss my girls being in the castle. It doesn't seem all that long ago that they were so little like Reginald.”

"I think the guys will love to have Hope visit." Vincent teases. "Actually the guys have drills today, so I was just going to do some plans." He picks up Hope's bag. "Give her to me, I want some Hope time."

~~~~~~~

Jasmine finds Dillon in his office. "I just got this from Rosario. If only they had gotten to us sooner. I don't like Brandon being out there."

Dillon nods and has Jasmine sit down. "I know it is hard, but this is good news. The Altiere troops will help. Do you have a messenger going out there?"

Serena handed Hope over to Vincent. "You go to right ahead with her. I bet you come running back in just two hours." She said playfully. "I might be able to get a bit more work done as well." She said winking at Vincent.

~~

"Don't even want my name? What kind of man are you?" The Langoran man said.

"Never said I didn't want your name. I just haven't made it there yet. Since that's so important to you, let's hear your name." Brandon said.

Brandon started at the man till one of the guards pushed the man forward. "Tell His Majesty what he wants to know."

"Fine. My name is Toby Gilbert and I'm currently serving in the Ellis ranks. I've come to this war zone to be a spy under the man who's in charge. Topher is his name. He came from Rosario and Langora and requested help from the bidding of Langora." Toby said.

Brandon nodded his head. "I see. I know who Topher is. I'm surprised he would get himself mixed up in this war now that Lucia is gone. Tell me. How do they fair with both Altier and Moldova against them."

"To be honest your troops have straightend up Spence you have come. There has been a noticeable difference and that is why I was sent out to spy again. Your troops would have lost and been taken as prisoners but you saved them just in time. As for Altier men, they make it hard to move at times with their tactics. They move in and hit and then disappear without being seen. We've lost more men to them than to you."

Vincent takes Hope to his office. He has a little play area set up for her. At first she is happy playing with her toys, but she eventually wants Vincent's attention.

She begins to cry and Vincent picks her up. He walks around his office singing a lullaby. She snuggles on his shoulder. There is a knock on his door, it is one of the troops. "Sir, I was wondering if I could practice today. Would you mind watching me and giving me some pointers?" It is not one of his normal students.

"I would be happy too. If you don't mind having Hope there too." Vincent holds Hope. The soldier nods and they go out to the field.

~~~~

Ava walks into Jasmine's room followed by Sakura and Madeline. She is asleep in the chair with her feet up. "Quiet girls she is asleep. We can put the surprise on the bed." Sakura had made her two baby blankets.

Serena heads up to her office and works extra hard. She doesn't have Hope to hold her back or to pitch a fit or anything for the day. She feels a little relief surprisingly. She signs a few papers and puts them to the side. It's easy to get things done when you are kid free.

~~

Brandon looked at Toby. "Does Topher have any plans to attack against us at this time?" he asked.

"I don't know. I think those plans were going to be based on this spy expedition." Toby said.

"Do you know of any plans that could prevent us from winning the war?" Brandon asked.

"If I knew I wouldn't tell you." Toby said with a smirk.

The guard pushed Toby's head down hard on the desk. "That's not the answer he asked for."

"No, I don't know of any plans. Topher never told anyone of his plans except Prince Anton." Toby said.

Brandon looked up fast at Toby. "Anton? Anton's at the border?"

Toby mentally kicked himself for saying that. "Yes." he grumbled.

"That makes things different now. That's something to fight for." Brandon said with a smile. "Lock him up in case I want to ask him more questions later."

The guards escorted Toby out and Brandon began to plan a strategy attack.

Vincent holds Hope and watches the guy as he shoots his arrows. He is pretty decent for not being in his class. After a few rounds he approaches the soldier. "Tell me if I am wrong, you are a swordsman."

"Yes Sir, I am." The soldier answers.

"I can tell." He gives the soldier a few pointers. "If you give me your schedule, I can arrange to have some individual classes."

The soldier gasps. "Really? You will do that? Thank you Sir, I will do that right away. Your little girl is such a cutie, and your boys gave me this bruise." He shows Vincent a black mark on his arm. "They are so fun to play with. I have to get going, but I will have my schedule on your desk by tomorrow." He bows and leaves.

It's been two day's since Brandon received word that Anton was on the home front. He's been working on a plan that will somehow capture Anton for good this time and have him in his jail. He also wants to capture Topher and end this war on this end of the front. It's the day of the battle and you can feel the tension in the air. Everyone knows that there is a chance that they may not make it home from here but they will do their country their service and serve their majesty till the end.

Brandon comes out of his tent and everyone stops what they are doing. He calls everyone to attention and gives a speech to them about how loyal they are. He tells them what a great crew they are and gets their confidence up for the battle ahead. He then proceeds to get his archers up front and then his other men behind. He want's half of his men to come around in a pincer movement to be able to hold them in. He hand picks the men for the job and picks about a quarter of his men to do it. He climbs up on his horse and then leads his men forward.

Anton and Topher had been talking in Anton's tent. He had taken over since he had come to the front lines. Topher had not liked that idea but did it anyway since he knew that Anton could have him killed. They were talking about their missing spy. “It's not like him to go missing like that. Usually he he is back within a few hours.” Topher said.

“It's been two days. You better have a good excuse for this Topher. I don't like having my men run off like that.” Anton said.

“Your Majesty!!!” a panicked voice said outside the tent.

“What is it now.” Anton said.

“There's a wave of Moldovan men here ready to fight. They are rushing the camp!” the guard said.

Anton rushed outside just in time to see Brandon use his sword on one of his men. The guard fell instantly and Brandon was on to another while on his horse. Anton was pissed. “Get me my armor and weapon!” He said.

A few minutes later and Anton was in his armor and had his weapon. He started shouting out orders to get his men in order as Topher pushes the men in order so they can stand a chance. “Where were the men standing on watch?? They should have for warned us about this attack!” he said.

“Dead sir...they are all dead! Killed by darts it looked like.” A reporting guard said as he stood in front of Topher.

More then half of Brandon's men were now in the camp. The rest were still making their way in. The other quarter were making their way around the camp to make their pincer movement. For those that were running away, Brandon's crew would catch them near the edge of the camp and kill them. There would be no running this day. It would be taken alive or die.

Brandon's archers had now moved to the back and were being used to take the men who were giving up. Personally Brandon was looking for Anton in the camp. He wanted to kill the man but knew he needed to take him alive. If he could take him alive then he knew the council would be on his side. What he didn't know was that Anton had already spotted him and was devising a quick plan to get him out of the picture fast so he could make his getaway to Moldova.

Anton slowly makes his way to Brandon. He has to kill a man on his way but with so much fighting in camp going on, Brandon doesn't catch who it is. Brandon swipes at a man and knocks him over but doesn't kill him. His horse stands up on two legs and comes down on the mans chest instead, killing him instantly. Anton made his way over to the horse and grabs the reins from Brandon. “Who are.....ahhh....” Anton pushed him sideways and his foot catches in the foot petal. Anton slaps the horse on its rear and it takes off with Brandon yelling behind it. He then silently makes his way away from the war zone. His only hope was that Topher gets caught so that they don't put their concerns around him as much as the party that they have on hand.

Brandon immediately feels pain in his leg as he's pulled along. He's hitting things and being dragged along and calling for help. A guard finally sees his horse and calls for help and they manage to stop the horse. By this time, Brandon is unconscious. The group of men coming around for the pincer movement has finally made it through and caught Topher as he tried to run off. This part of the war is over. Now the only thing to worry about is Brandon who is currently passed out laying on the ground as his men attend to him.

The Moldovan messenger makes it to the camp. He is surprised to see it almost empty. He goes to the highest rank to deliver the message from Jasmine.

The Captain reads the letter and grins. This will only help their effort. Today will be victorious.

~~~~~~~~

Anton takes the first available horse and gallops toward Moldova. He is glad to see it is one of their painted horses and there is a military uniform on it. He will change into it when he stops.

He looks into his hand and sees Brandon's wedding ring. It will be perfect to convince Jasmine that he is dead and take her as his own.

~~~~

Jasmine is sitting at her parents house. She has not heard anything from the front. "It has only been a couple of days. The messenger is probably just arriving." Madeline rubs her hands from across the table.

"I know Mom, I am just so worried. I don't like that he is gone, and I hate putting you guys out." Jasmine sighs before drinking her glass of juice.

"You are not putting us out, we are staying at the castle because we want to. We need to keep you as stress free as possible. I am just glad you let me bring you out." Madeline smiles.

Paul works on Brandon to wake him up. He uses water from a canteen and a rag and wipes the dirt off of Brandon's face. "He's banged up pretty bad. I'm pretty sure his leg is broken in two different places as well." He reported to the captain in charge.

"How long before he wakes?" The captain asked.

"Depends on him really. I would like to see him awake but his body needs rest now. I suggest we get him back to the castle in a hurry. They can do more for him there." Paul said.

The captain nodded. He then began giving orders out. Paul continued to clean Brandon up until a buggy was found. Brandon was loaded up in the back and given an escort of five guards to take him back to the castle.

Anton rides through the night, stopping only to change in to the Moldovan uniform and to put up his hair. He switches horses. They were only so glad to help him out. He approaches the castle.

Jasmine lies Ava down in the play pen in her room. She has a little bit of time before her appointment. She decides to lie down. Anton goes into the secret passages and find Jasmine lying on the bed. He goes and locks the door. Morons didn't even change rooms. He sits on the bed and brushes her hair with his fingers.

Jasmine feels the fingers and slowly opens her eyes. A look of terror enters them as she scoots back. She ends up falling on her butt. "Anton, what are you doing here?" She runs toward the door and is pulled back.

"You are looking angelic. I actually bring you news from the front." He holds up his wedding ring.

Jasmine grabs it from his hand and examines it. "This is Brandon's wedding ring, how did you get it?" She gasps.

A sinister smile appears on his face. "How do you think MY Angel. I took it off his dead body. Looks like I win MY Angel, and you are going to be mine."

Jasmine's face falls, her hands go to her stomach as she almost collapses on her bed. "No you lie." She looks at the ring in her hand. "Even if Brandon is dead, I will never surrender to you. Now get out before I call my guards." Jasmine rises off the bed and feels moisture on her legs. She gets a panicked look on her face. "No, not now."

Dr. Caprio looks at her clock. It is not like Jasmine to be late for her appointment. She wonders if the Queen was still asleep. She grabs her medical bag and head to the room.

Jasmine staggers back into Anton's arms. "It is too early."

Anton smirks he cannot believe he is going to see the birth of his child. "Breathe Jasmine, you can do this."

There is a knock on the door. "Majesty, it is Dr. Caprio, you missed your appointment."

Anton walks over to the door and pulls her in. "Perfect timing Doctor, Jasmine just went into labor."

"Who are you? We have to get her to the infirmary now." Dr. Caprio demands.

"No one is going anywhere. You are going to deliver my child here." Anton locks the door.

~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile Nathaniel is setting up for the day. He senses the terror and doubles over in pain. He looks up at Levi. "It is Jasmine, the babies are coming. Something is wrong though, she is scared."

"We should go to the infirmary." Levi gets the kids and they head to the castle.

Daniel is walking down the hall when he hears Ava crying from her parents room. He tries to open the door, but it is locked. Berenson happens to be walking down to check on Jasmine as well. "Dad, the door is locked and Ava is crying, something is wrong."

They hear Jasmine yell from inside the room. "I will get the master key and some guards. You stay here." Berenson races to her office.

Daniel pounds on the door. "Jasmine, please open the door." He hears her scream again and then a baby cry.

Nathaniel and Levi arrive with some incubators and a stretcher at the same time as Berenson. He unlocks the door and all of them enter. The room erupts in chaos as guards and infirmary staff enter the room.

Daniel sees Anton holding a baby, the other one is by Jasmine. Levi picks up Ava and leaves the room with her. The babies are taken to the infirmary as the guards arrest Anton. Dr. Caprio looks up at Berenson. "I need to get her into surgery, I cannot stop the bleeding."

They move her gently unto the stretcher and Dr. Caprio sits on the end working on her still. Brandon's ring is still in her clenched fist as they leave.

Brandon had finally woken up over night sometime. He was questioning Paul about how bad he was. "Will I be alright doctor Paul? I feel a little fuzzy in the head but I'm sure that's from hitting a few rocks and things on the ground."

"I want your own doctor to see you about your concussion but I think all in all you should make a full recovery. Your leg will take a few weeks though. It's broken in two places." He said as they continued to talk.

The day progressed and they finally make it back to the castle. Before he is helped out he gives one of the men a message and tells him to get a good horse and ride back out to meet the general who should already be there. He had plans for Topher and Matthew. The guards had come in to help and stopped cold in their tracks.

"Your Majesty!" They all bowed to Brandon as the other guards helped him out and into a wheelchair.

"Stand up all of you. You look as if you've seen a ghost." Brandon said.

"The traitor Anton said he had killed you! He is locked down in the jail cells." One of the guards said.

Brandon tried to remember what happened but whatever happened a few days ago on the battlefield meant that Anton had managed to get away and make it back here. His face paled."Jasmine... How's Jasmine?"

"The guard shook his head. "She had the babies early but she is still not awake..."

Brandon was pushing himself away and towards the infirmary. He was worried about his wife. He hadn't even noticed that his wedding ring was missing yet.

~~

Berenson had taken asked Dillion and one more guard to watch all of the kids for the time being. Jasmine was still unconscious and Ava didn't need to see her mother like this right now. He had been talking to Madeline in the waiting room. "I have never been so concerned in my life. I wish she would wake up. It doesn't help that that blasted demon said Brandon was dead. What are we supposed to tell her when she does wake up?"

"That I'm not dead but I'm bruised and battered and broken my leg in two places." Brandon said as he had trouble opening the door.

Dr. Caprio is just exiting out of Jasmine's room. She was still looking at the clipboard. "She has lost a lot of blood, but should recover nicely. We used the blood from Nathaniel. They boys are a bit small, but I have news."

She looks up from the clipboard and sees Brandon almost dropping it. "Your alive Majesty. You need to see her right away and talk to her. It may help her wake up. The news about the boys can wait." She pushes him into the room.

Jasmine is once again hooked up to the machines. She slowly opens her eyes, but is not quite conscious. Her eyes fall on Brandon. "No, I cannot be dead. I have kids to take care of and a country to rule..." Her eyes focus more and she lightly touches his face. "Wait, angels don't have bruises...You're...you're alive?" Her eyes begin to water. "You are in a wheelchair, and your leg is in a cast. But you are alive." Her other hand is still clenched.

~~~~~~~

"We need to send a coded message to Rosario and let them know what happened." Madeline tells Berenson. "I am so happy that he is not dead. Now we can nail their asses."

~~~~

Daniel sneaked out of the room after Brandon went into Jasmine's room. The bastard lied to Jasmine. He gets a smirk on his face and heads to the prison cells. He goes over to Anton's jail cell and kicks the bars to get his attention. "How dare you, you murderer."

Brandon puts his hand on Jasmine's hand that's on his face. "I told you I would make it home to you and I did. We defeated the Ellis men along our border. I have orders on the return as we speak on what to do with the prisoners. I missed you so much. I'm sorry I didn't make it back in time. I'm sorry I wasn't here to protect you." He said putting his other hand on her clasped hand.thats when he noticed his wedding band was gone.."my wedding band is gone...Oh goddess."

~~

Berenson had sat down in a chair unable to stand anymore. "Right now I feel like I've seen a ghost. I only hope he helps her wake up. I know he has before but he looks like something that was strung up and beaten to be honest. I think that letter would be great to Rosario. I'm sure someone will come and give us a little help."

Anton shakes his head. "You liar, she did not die. What about my son?"

"You better be grateful you are behind these bars. Brandon is not very happy right now." Daniel growls at him. "She did not survive the blood loss after having the boys. Dr. Caprio said that the stress from hearing that Brandon dies tore her placenta. You are lucky the boys survived, although you will never see your son again."

~~~~

Jasmine cannot stop crying. "Go to my other hand. A...An...ton had it on him. He told me that he killed you and gave me your ring. He was wearing a Moldovan military uniform. Are the boys alright? I passed out after having them."

~~~~~~

Madeline stands. "I will go send the telegram and tell Ava the good news too. I cannot believe Anton had the gall to do that with her in the room. I will tell them about the birth. Once we get the information from Brandon, we can send them relay the information about the battle. Let me know if she wakes up too."

Brandon opens Jasmine's hand and the ring falls into his hand. There are tears in his eyes. As he puts his ring back on his finger. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Dr. Caprio saw me and almost had a heart attack. I don't know how they are. Let me get one of your parents to get the doctor for us."

Brandon wheeled himself over to the door and opened it. Berenson and Madeline were talking. "Madeline, she is awake. Could you or Berenson get the doctor for us? We have some questions for him."

Berenson turned around. "I can get the doctor for you." He said as he walked away to to find Dr. Caprio.

"I am going to send a telegram to tell Kalista and Iverson about the births. Brandon, Ava was in the room when Anton was there. I will let her know that you are here and that bad man lied." Madeline hugs Brandon. "I am so glad you are here.

Dr. Caprio returns with Berenson and wheels Brandon back into the room. She smiles at Jasmine. "We really have to stop meeting like this. I want you to know that you are going to be alright. I had to manually remove the placenta pieces. The boys are doing fine for being early. They are on the small side probably the size you and your brother were. I would like to keep them in the incubators for a little longer, but I can bring them in here."

She flips to the next page. "Now the interesting news. The boys are fraternal twins. One is yours Brandon, he has the cutest red hair. Otherwise, he looks just like you. The other is indeed Anton's. He is the one with black hair.

Jasmine I want you to take it easy, you will feel weak from the blood loss for the next day or so. Brandon, I do want to examine you to make sure that your head is alright."

Jasmine's mouth drops when Dr. Caprio tells them about the boys. "Both boys are ours, no matter what the DNA says. There is no way I am turning over an innocent baby to A...An..ton.

Madeline writes the message and tells them about the birth of the boys. She did tell them about Anton as well, but assures them everyone is alright. She hands it over to the telegraph officer.

She then checks on the kids. Nathaniel and Levi are with them. "I heard the good news." Nathaniel goes to hug her. "I already told Ava. I told her it was the same 'bad guy' that hurt Jasmine before."

Brandon's teeth gritted together as he looked at Dr. Caprio. One of those boys wasn't his son. Anger surges though Brandon as he clinches his fists together. “Your telling me one of those boys isn't mine? Jasmine, how can you even say that when the boy is his? He has hurt us so much and to hurt us this way again. I have to be reminded everyday what he did to you? I don't know if I can live with that.” He said.

Berenson cleared his voice. “Maybe right now you shouldn't argue over that seeing as both of you are injured. A guard just made his report to me that you were to be seen by Dr. Caprio for you concussion. I'd say right now both of you are pretty stressed to the max right now.” he said.

~~

Iverson walks into Kalista's office with the telegram. “You are the only one that can decode this. It came from Moldova just a moment ago. I have no clue what it says.”

Jasmine shakes her head. "The child is innocent. Trust me I know how much he has hurt me. However I will not turn over the child to get twisted by assholes."

Dr. Caprio stands between them. "Prince Berenson is right, I will take Brandon to the next room to examine him. Once I am done, he will rejoin you." She pushes him into the next room. She instructs the nurse to bring the boys into Jasmine's room.

Jasmine looks down at the boys. "Look Dad, they are so small."

Just then Madeline opens the door holding Ava. "I have a little girl who was missing her mommy. Oh the boys are here. Look Ava your brothers."

~~~~~~~~

Kalista takes the telegram and reads it. "Oh Goddess Jasmine had the boys." She describes what happened. "Don't worry though, Brandon is fine. He has a broken leg and a concussion. Anton is in their prison." She looks up at Iverson "I want to go out to see my grandsons."

Brandon takes some deep breaths to calm down. He is helped up out of the chair and onto the bed by two nurses in the room. He looks at Dr. Caprio. “I got pushed off my horse and my horse started to run in fear for some reason. I hit some rocks and I blacked out. I remember waking up on the way back to the castle last night. That was all.” He said. “I will have a hard time accepting his child as my own. I know she want's to keep him but it hurts me to know he's not my own.”

~~

Berenson looked at the boys and looked at Jasmine as he rubbed her shoulder. “They are beautiful aren't they? I think they are smaller then when you and Nathaniel were born to be honest.” He said as he looked up to see Ava and Madeline. “There's my little granddaughter. Look Ava, aren't they so little?”

~~

Iverson looks up at Kalista. “I can't afford to go right now to Moldova with my men about to make a move on Langora in just a day or two. Why don't you take Serena and Vincent with you and the kids and I will hold things down here while you are gone?” he said.

Dr. Caprio checks his head. "They did a good job with the stitches. I want you to take it easy. You may feel some dizziness." After examining him Dr. Caprio sits down. "I know it may be hard, but Jasmine is right. The child should be the focus now. He is an innocent being. I am going to bring you back and you can see the boys."

~~~~~

"Dey are small. Mommy where is Daddy?" Ava asks.

Jasmine goes and picks up Lawrence and hands him to Madeline. She picks up Tareq. "Mom, you have Lawrence Berenson, and this is Tareq Zachary. I don't even know when they were born or anything."

~~~~~

Dr. Caprio pushes in Brandon. "The red headed boy was born at 1:26, and the raven haired boy at 1:30."

Madeline gives Lawrence to Brandon. "I love their names. I know the country can use some good news."

~~~~~

"I would hate to leave you with alone with all the kids. Why don't we tell the kids the good news over dinner? We will see if they want to go or not." Kalista smiles. "I am glad the Anton is where he belongs. Now he will be able to face the charges against him. I am going to invite them to dinner right now." Kalista rises and leaves the room.

She knocks on Serena's door. After gaining entry, she tells Serena that they are invited to dinner and that she received a telegram from Moldova.

Brandon looks down at his son and sniffs back a tear. He was so beautiful but small at the same time. Maybe he would wait until he he held the other baby to see what he felt to make a decision.

"He looks just like me except for your red hair." Brandon said. He brushed Lawrence's hair to the side as the baby yawned. "I think he also needs changed. He's wet." Brandon said looking up at Madeline. "Why don't we trade so I can see my big girl." He was still pissed that Anton had all of his shenanigans in front of her.

~~

Serena looked at her mother. "I hope everything is alright. We would be glad to join you for dinner. What does the telegram say from Moldova?" She asked.

"Daddy, I mist you so much. The bad guys said that you were dead and mommy was so sad. I was scared Daddy." Ava snuggles into his chest. "I am glad you not dead."

Jasmine blinks away tears as she watches their interaction. She looks up as the door opens. Daniel comes in. "Oh you are awake, and you have the babies. May I?" He goes over to Jasmine who hands over Tareq. He smirks as he snuggles the baby. "It is good to see you back man. How would you want some revenge on Anton?"

Madeline shakes her head. "Don't tell me you went to see him. I will have nothing to do with your plot. Remember you cannot kill him."

~~~~~~

"I will tell you both at dinner. That way I won't have to repeat myself." Kalista smiles. "Don't worry it is not bad. Not all of it at least."

Brandon cries with Ava as he hugs her in his arms. "Everything is alright Ava, daddy is home now and you don't have to see the bad man again. Everything he said wasa lie." He said as he kissed the top of Ava's head.

He looks up at Daniel and wipes tears from his eyes. "Nothing would please me more then having revenge on him. He has done enough to hurt my family. I know I cannot kill him but he is in my jail cells. I will treat him as he is for to be treated. Like the swine he is."

~~

Serena raised her hands in the air and rolled her eyes. "You are the worst sometimes. Do you hear that! Now you have me sitting on pins and needles and I can't stand it."

"Daddy don't cry." Ava snuggles him even more. "I don't like the bad man, he is scary."

Jasmine shakes her head. "I don't want any part of it either. I don't even like having him in the castle."

"Don't worry, you won't have to." Daniel begins to whisper in Brandon's ear, telling him what happened in the cells. "Nathaniel is on board as well."

Dr Caprio enters the room. "I am sorry, but I have to take the babies. They should be fine in a few day, but I want to watch over them since they are early." Daniel and Madeline place the boys in the incubators. "Does Ava like her brothers?"

"We will have to get them some new clothes. They will swim in everything we have for them." Jasmine sighs.

"I bought up the bassinette for them too. They should both fit in there for now." Berenson adds.

~~~~~

"I know, but you can wait a few hours. I have to get going." Kalista winks before leaving the room.

Vincent is done with his lessons and goes to Serena's office. "Hello my love, how are you today?"

Brandon snuggled with his little girl. "Don't worry Ava, I'm here now and everything is going to get better." He said. He listened to Daniel and nodded his head. "That is perfect. Thank you for that information. I can use it." He then has Daniel come down for a whisper. "Ask Dr. Caprio for a death certificate for Jasmine. If need tell her I am asking for it to use in questioning of the prisoner down stairs."

Berenson raised an eyebrow. "Be careful of what you do. Don't you want him to hang for his deeds?"

"Just having a little fun with him, not going to kill him." Brandon said. "Just returning the favor to him."

~~

Serena looked up at Vincent. Mom invited us to dinner tonight. They have received word from Moldova but she wouldn't tell me what about.she just hunted some was good and some was bad which made me want to know more."

"You are going to tell him I died? That isn't too bad. A little tit for tat. Just make sure that certificate does not go too far. We don't need to scare the people." Jasmine yawns. "I think I am going to sleep for a little while. Why don't you guys plan your little thing."

"She is tired because of the blood loss. If you want we can take Ava. We need to move our stuff back home." Madeline offers.

~~~~~

"Now don't let your imagination run away with this. I am sure if it was serious, she would have told you. I wonder if it was something about Jasmine? It is too early for her to have the babies." Vincent sits down. "Dinner here sounds good though."
